Have something to say?

Ready to be published? LXer is read by around 350,000 individuals each month, and is an excellent place for you to publish your ideas, thoughts, reviews, complaints, etc. Do you have something to say to the Linux community?

This may be the crucial step.

I could not be more pleased, but even more pleasing is the fact that the EU will almost certainly follow, country by country - and at last the "Microsoft format lockin" has been defeated. Champagne anyone ? Or even a snifter of single malt ? (Glen Morangie for choice - I've just been given a litre bottle as a gift; but Talisker is just as good.)

Perhaps even the "Windows druggie" of Australia will finally wake up to the horrible mess that Microsoft has created with its proprietary formats. Australia often does tread where the UK has blazed a trail.....hopefully it will do the same this time.

Update.......I deleted part of this.....irrelevant to the matter in hand.
